The Great {preschool} Graduate

Thing 1 "graduated" from preschool last week.

I still can't believe I'm going to have a child in an actual school building with a playground and those big, heavy, metal double doors this fall.

Let's not think about that right now.

Her school put on a lovely little program, and I was so happy that she got to sit in the very front row so we could all get a great view.

Her line was "A pot, and some soil, and a small flower seed"

Singing "Mr. Sun"

Doing the ah ah ah ah part of "If all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops"

{Jane sings along to that part, as well.....very loudly}

The Caterpillar Conga

Aaaaaaand then my camera battery died.  I know.  I'm a great mom for not checking it earlier in the day.

I sure do love this kid and I can't believe how big she is.

She lost a tooth, with a second one leaving any day now.

She reads words that are so big and I can't believe how smart she is.

She does little math problems all day long and loves to add and subtract.

She puts on her own shoes, and is determined to learn how to tie them herself.

She is constantly asking questions about how things work and why, and I have to remind myself that it's good and not the most annoying thing ever.

She will still cuddle me sometimes.....but only if I tickle her back.

She wants to be a princess and live at Disneyland when she grows up.

She randomly gives me hugs and kisses all day long and tells me she loves me.

She is always saying that things are the best ever - "this is the best dinner ever, Mom!", "this is the best day ever", "this is my favorite outfit ever!"

When I give her choices, she is always asking what I would choose - she is very much a people pleaser.

She is so wonderful and good and sometimes I feel like my heart is going to just burst right out of my chest because I love her so much.
